REVIEW | The Guild of Merchant Explorers | A Flip and Place, Village Building Game

Ready for a nautical adventure game of placing exploration cubes and connecting trading posts? You'll get all of that and more in this pattern movement, hidden victory points game by AEG.
The Guild of Merchant Explorers uses flip and place as the simultaneous action for all players, but everyone will quickly diverge from their opponents' strategies when they earn unique Investigation Cards that allow them to navigate into new places on their map.
With four maps and several objective cards for each map, this game is super replayable and enjoyable for all ages. I love the time it takes to play (under an hour) and the ease with which to teach it.

Thanks for this review! I think I'm going to have to pick this one up at some point to play with my wife.

Great review. You are always so positive and excited about games. Just once I would love to hear you tell us about a real stinker! 😂

They exist! I'll see what I can do:) Just a little tidbit for now: I play a game that I actively grumble about all the time: Corsari. My husband loves it and I tolerate it!
